Description Rafael Lima 2022-11-29 14:15:20 UTC

When you click a comment box in a Writer document, the comment is not selected in the Navigator even when Comment Tracking is on.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Consider a document in Writer with multiple comments
2) Open the navigator and check if "Comment tracking" is enabled (right-click the Comments entry in the navigator and check Comment tracking)
3) Click inside a comment in the document; notice that it doesn't get selected in the navigator
4) Using the "Previous/Next" buttons in the navigator will move the cursor to the expected comment; however the selected comment in the Navigator will not change

In summary, I believe comment tracking should select the comment in the navigator when the cursor is inside a comment box in the document.

Reproducible with current master

The Navigator tracks content at the cursor position in the document view. Here is where this is done for fields and comments: sw/source/uibase/utlui/content.cxx SwContentTree::UpdateTracking function // fields, comments

Repro. It does track, if you position cursor to the comment marker in the canvas.

It does not track for me in 7.6.2.1. Comment tracking is enabled, when I place the cursor in comments in the document the navigator pane does nothing.
